I can't speak to the specifics of what RPMForge does for defaults but generally, your host's check_command doesn't work or doesn't accurately reflect the status of the host. What is the Status Information? What is the host{} definition? What is the command{} definition it references as it's check_command? > Obviously since I'm accessing > the host remotely via HTTP it isn't down. Any thoughts on how to fix > this?

An somewhat arbitrary guess is that the host check_command tries to ping localhost and that doesn't work. Can you ping localhost as the nagios user? If not, you may need to SUID /bin/ping so that it can be run by non-root users. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
